Amazing.

But it seems like a powerful way to process data, not a way to write programs, am I right?

Maybe it could be said to be a spreadsheet-like data processor that generates Javascript code to process that data in that same way.

I hope I remember to install and try it when I get home.

Well, programs are data and logic - so this is definitely a way to write and visualise data more easily, and potentially also a way to visualise logic tables more easily (such as cases of 'switch' statements, although that display logic hasn't been implemented yet).

If you get a chance to try it, please let me know if you have any feedback!
